How To Be Authentic - Teal Swan -

Authenticity and How to be Authentic may be tougher than you initially think. We are social creatures and grow up often in environments where being authentic and true to yourself may not be the safest option. However many of us are not in these inauthentic situations any longer and would like to get back into touch with our own authenticity and living more authentic lives for our own sake.

Teal Swan is a personal transformation revolutionary. She was born with a range of extrasensory abilities and is a survivor of severe childhood abuse. Today she uses her gifts as well as her own harrowing life experience to inspire millions of people towards authenticity, freedom and joy and teaching people how to transform their emotional, mental, physical and spiritual pain.

The result when people are restored to wholeness is that the world will be restored to wholeness. Teal Swan's teachings invite people to step fully into their authenticity, knowing that this will bring about the positive change that we want to see in the world.

I have spent a week listening to Teal Swan and I felt my brain expanded to a 100%.

[JaCeLyN]

Has anyone had moments where it feels like your personality disappears and you have nothing to say? Anything you do say is forced and fake and you feel disconnected from others and self conscious. I've had it happen a lot lately and it makes convos very awkward, and I feel inauthentic, unhappy and self critical after :/

[LeeorAlexandra]

My biggest inspiration. The world needs you, Teal. Love you always!

[derekeano]

Every video I watch: "To understand this concept I'm talking about, watch another video"
**me happily going down a rabbit hole with a spoon in my mouth**

[GreeceKelly]

"Whatever you're trying to defend is the vulnerability you need to be authentic about" WAIT A MINUTE TEAL! Don't just casually continue talking after that sentence. Give us a couple of hours to process lol

[andrewsnowmon]

She's right once again the best times of my life were when I was myself.

"We are copies of what we have seen succeeding..." gosh... so true... I love you, Teal!

What causes inauthenticity? Judgement, shame, no self-worth, other emotional traumas causing: people pleasing behavior, not speaking, tension, repression (internalised). This is the essence of pavolvian conditioning, we act according to the behaviors that were emotionally rewarded and dont act in the ways we were punished from. Solution is to heal the original triggers.

When I was very young I invited a friend over to my house. (Side note. My friends family was way wealthier than my own) My mom cleaned our house before she came like she never cleaned it. She spoke to me kindly and offered to order pizza. Acted involved with my brother and myself. And I lost it. My mother left her "t.v room" maybe once a week. Rarely spoke to her children, didn't care what or if we ate, and was generally not kind. I lost it because of how much of a facade she was putting up. I was Maybe 8 or 9 a d I was getting upset because I couldn't tolerate how phony she was being. If she was so ashamed then why only work on things when someone else was looking. . .. my friend and I went to a park, I wasn't allowed to have friends over for the rest of my childhood. I also never put up a front. It's gotten me in serious trouble (esp at work), it's permitted me to get hurt, but I get genuinely upset by inauthenticity. . .I know no one will read this, just remembered this moment when I started watching this and I wanted to put that memory out there

The part where you talk about how tense you feel when you know you are being watched really resonated with me. Something I've noticed is I have really good balance - until I think about somebody (imaginary or real) watching me. For example, if I am in flow state I can ride my bike with no handlebars, and stand on one leg in a yoga pose, for a long time. However, as soon as I become self-conscious I lose my inner equilibrium and wobble. This has made me wonder in what other ways does being self-conscious affect my state, and expression of it.

This needs to be translated to all languages in the world

[mahmoudblel]

teal's content should literally be taught in schools, sometimes though i get overwhelmed by the number of concepts/tools she's demonstrating.

Inauthenticity ruined my life. And now I'm taking my power back by being authentic.

[MuseSunflower]

Great video Teal. This is currently my journey. I took on the "guarded, quiet, shy girl" mask due some child hood issues.

I am in the process of releasing that, coming out of my shell, speaking up and just doing what I need to do for me and not anyone else's comfort

it's a process, but I'm coming a long. And you're videos have helped A LOT!!

[MaireTreasa]

A week ago I realized that I have never been truly authentic in all of my life, even though I always believed I was. Now I am on a journey to uncover the "real" me. This video was more helpful than you can imagine! Thank you from my heart.

[msunyich]

10:53 one of the best ways to express yourself authentically is to ask yourself, in these scenarios you get yourself into, what is the opposite of defending myself right now or what is it I am trying to defend? Whatever you are trying to defend is the vulnerability you need to be authentic about.

[katiie]

The person who maintains their complete essence they came into this life with the clarity of a child without fragmenting .. the one that can last the longest into their lifetime despite major challenges seriously deserves a prize

[HugBunnies]

Wow, this is SO important. I'm definitely feeling this info. So ready. This is amazing.
